regarding our suggestions about\u00a0books. \u00a0First, one of the things we want to encourage is for you to really enjoy the rest of the summer before school starts, so suggest that you don&#8217;t, and make it somewhat impossible for you to, work on class stuff too far in advance. This is on purpose as it will do you no good to try to work ahead on your reading. Law school is the type of thing you want to make sure you keep up with but don&#8217;t want to get too far ahead because you just never know when the conversation in class will take you off topic and then your reading assignments will change. \u00a0Second, some faculty teach from traditional textbooks and others use things like Chart-a-course or self-created reading packets. \u00a0If you are buying a textbook, be sure you are buying the exact edition that the syllabus or bookstore list indicates. \u00a0In legal books an old edition is pretty much useless to you- pages won&#8217;t be numbered the same, won&#8217;t have the same cases, etc. \u00a0You can check the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bkstr.com\/mitchellhamlinestore\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bookstore<\/a>for book assignments by section and let me know if you have questions.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/ed6807e7ca3520ddc5944227e\/files\/Locker_Request_Form_rev_5_2016_.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Locker application<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"accordion-item\">\n<h4 class=\"accordion-item-title\">2016-2017 Week 5<\/h4>\n<div class=\"accordion-item-body\">\n<h1>It&#8217;s week 5!<\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul class=\"default\">\n<li><strong>Student ID Card: <\/strong>You will need to come to campus and get your picture taken for your student ID card. \u00a0This card gets you in the locked doors (only the main entrance on Summit Ave is accessible\u00a0without a keycard)\u00a0and allows you to check out books and study rooms in the library.
